The USS Mercury is an Obena-class emissary providing crucial engineering and diplomatic support to Sirius Squadron. A veteran of a thousand humanitarian responses and diplomatic outreaches, her experience reaches back twenty years and spans the breadth of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. From the tensions of the Federation interior to troubled frontiers to neighbours in need of friendship or assistance, the Mercury and her crew have never feared to get their hands dirty to help anyone in need. Today, she forms part of the Operations Division of Sirius Squadron, bringing aid to the most burdened reaches of the galaxy and extending the hand of Federation friendship.
Sirius Expeditionary Squadron is a unit centered around the Odyssey-class USS Sirius under the command of Commodore Matt Rourke. Sirius Squadron stands ready to deploy outside or on the fringes of Federation territory at short notice to respond to emerging situations across the galaxy. With multiple versatile and powerful ships at its disposal, the squadron can operate independently and without support for extended periods, and is flexible enough to face a range of missions, including under volatile circumstances where objectives and conditions can quickly change. While this profile often leads Sirius Squadron to respond to geopolitical crises, the unit’s versatility make it equally suited emergent scientific investigations.
The main unit, organised around the Sirius herself, is an element of several powerful ships each able to take the lead or act independently depending on the mission’s needs. Deployed together, they are a supremely well-rounded and capable unit. Two additional divisions provide specialist support. The first, headed by the USS Redemption, acts as an operations element to provide engineering, humanitarian, or diplomatic services. The second, headed by the USS Liberty, fulfils dedicated exploratory or scientific missions. The divisions may deploy independently or in support of one another, depending on operational needs.

She found him as they had always found one another these past few weeks: alone in the dark, with only strategy plans and intelligence reports for company in the deep nest of the Rookery. ‘Come to also tell me why I’m wrong?’ Rosewood didn’t need to turn around to know it was her. He stood [...]

‘…Ranger’s port nacelle is still offline, and engineering reports structural stress through the secondary hull. She’ll need at least forty-eight hours for priority repairs.’ There were only five of them in the CIC, and as Rosewood listened to Valance’s summary of the state of the [...]

The corridors of the Vaadwaur cruiser were twisted metal and scorched plating, the shattered hull a metal grave spread across the blazing sands. Cassidy and Rosewood moved through them with cool purpose, rifles raised, every step echoing through the ship’s carcass. They passed bodies along the [...]

Fine red dust kicked up in the wake of the Nomad, its reinforced treads chewing through the sands of Threshold as it bounded up and over rolling dunes that, when they had landed, had stretched as far as the eye could see. Though they could not see their goal itself, they could see the sign of it: [...]
